I was prescribed Photofrin 75mg Inj today for my cancer treatment. The nurse was pretty clear that I need to avoid direct sunlight and bright indoor lights, but I'm at a loss for how to manage my daily routine. Does anyone have tips for handling this extreme light sensitivity? How long can I expect to be sensitive, and what precautions can I take to avoid worsening it? I'm really worried about how this will affect my life, especially with work and daily activities. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
